We assess the impact of high dust deposition rates on marine biota and atmospheric CO2
using a state‐of‐the‐art ocean biogeochemistry model and observations. Our model …

The reconstruction of ocean history employs a large variety of methods with origins in the
biological, chemical, and physical sciences, and uses modern statistical techniques for the …
